Apostle Dr. Chibuzor Gift Chinyere was born on October 22nd 1973 into the family of late Mr. and Mrs. Chinyere Nwankwo of Ohanku village in Ndoki, in Ukwa East Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria.
He grew up to attend Seabird Nursery School in Port Harcourt, Rivers state. Shortly after that, he had his primary education at the army children school in Port Harcourt where he obtained his first school leaving certificate.
Chibuzor had his fair share of the hast times in life. In search of greener pastures, he left Port harcourt for lagos where he slept under the bridge until he could secure a job as a cleaner with the Nigeria airport authority. He also worked as a security guard and sold GSM recharge cards to survive.
He was from the Jehovah Witness religious sect, but had decided to toe the line of Pentecostalism. He discovered the mountain of fire ministry where he became a house fellowship teacher. He left the Mountain of Fire Ministry and became a freelance preacher of the gospel. Four years later, through the inspiration of God, he founded the Omega Power Ministries popularly known as (OPM), where he became the Apostle and General Overseer of the ministries.
Backed by the anointing of God upon his life, he floated a humanitarian outfit called The OPM Foundation, a foundation that launched the man of God to the world as many souls were positively affected across the globe by his humanitarian services.
Some of the achievements of the foundation include rehabilitation empowerment, training and alms-giving.
In 2010, the foundation opened and commissioned the Free Computer Training Centre at Elele prisons. Today so many prisoners including the prison warders have graduated from the scheme.
The OPM Foundation had over the period, trained over thousands of Nigerian in basic computer programming, Microsoft excel, power point and other computer packages through the establishment of free computer training centre in Nigeria. Most of the beneficiaries are now potential computer gurus in most of the public and private sectors.
